Frederic scored twice Saturday in a 3-2 overtime loss to the Blues.
He had gone 17 consecutive games without a goal (Oct. 8 in Florida). His first marker Saturday was off a rebound in tight; the second was a tip of a point shot. Frederic has three points (two goals, one assist) in his last two games, and that microburst has doubled his season point total. Much more was expected after he put up 40 points last season, but Frederic has really struggled so far (three goals, three assists; 19 games), much like the rest of his team. Right now, there are a lot better options for your squad.

Bruins' Trent Frederic: Lights lamp Tuesday
Rotowire
Frederic scored a goal on two shots, added four PIM and went minus-2 in Tuesday's 6-4 loss to the Panthers.
Frederic is no stranger to the rough stuff -- he had 204 hits and 69 PIM in addition to a breakout year with 40 points in 82 regular-season appearances in 2023-24. The 26-year-old forward figures to be a consistent middle-six option for the Bruins this season. He also featured on the second power-play unit Tuesday, which could last throughout the campaign since the Bruins are relying on less proven options to fill out their bottom six. Frederic's biggest competition for power-play time is defenseman Hampus Lindholm, who is more likely to see time with the man advantage when the Bruins are nursing a lead.

Bruins' Trent Frederic: Erupts for three points in Detroit
Rotowire
Frederic scored two goals and added an assist in Sunday's 5-3 win over the Red Wings.
The 25-year-old potted Boston's first two tallies before setting up Jake DeBrusk for an empty-netter in the third period. It's Frederic's first three-point performance since March 3, 2022, and his second multi-goal effort of the current campaign. While his bottom-six role and lack of playing time puts a firm ceiling on his breakout potential, Frederic is on track for a career-best season with nine goals and 18 points through 35 games. The 2016 first-round pick even picked up the pace in December, delivering four goals and nine points in 13 contests.
Bruins' Trent Frederic: Supplies goal in win over Toronto
Rotowire
Frederic found the back of the net in Boston's 4-3 overtime win over Toronto on Saturday.
Frederic has been held off the scoresheet just once over his last four contests, providing a goal and three points over that stretch. He's up to six goals and 10 points in 23 games this season. Frederic is serving primarily as a bottom-six forward and almost never gets power-play ice time, so his offensive pace is unlikely to improve as the campaign progresses -- if anything, his current scoring pace is impressive given his limited role.
